Three years have passed since the last chapter, and the Volscians are still waiting for the arrival of the fleet of ships from the "colossus" . They've been waiting three years for the ship to arrive, and now they're waiting for it to arrive. The ship has arrived with 21 battle ships, including new aerial weapons that can travel beyond the sea's walls. The fleet is loyal to the marleys, and they've decided to attack the island. The only thing they can do is wait for the fleet to arrive and then attack. They don't have time to wait, though, because the ship is headed for the island with two other ships. They can't wait to get to the island, because it's full of "detestable devils." They're going to eat the island's food, and then they'll figure out a way to communicate with the eldians.
